I stared at Luo River God of the Capital, who was dressed in high-level mage equipment and had reached Level 131. Her level had surpassed mine yet again. Mages sure were strong when it came to leveling. I sighed and said, "Beauty Luo, we can't avoid fighting each other. How can I do this …"
Luo River God of the Capital giggled. "Don't even think about it. It's just a duel in the arena. Come, let's decide the victor and show me the power of the Little Heavenly King. Fans like to read:!"
"Come!"
I didn't wait for Luo River God of the Capital to summon her Magic Shield before I charged forward. I swung my sword and unleashed a Thousand Ice Slash. I didn't hold anything back against an opponent of Luo River God of the Capital's caliber. I would use all of my trump cards as long as I could defeat her.
"Crack …"
My boots crushed the rubble on the arena floor. It was clear how much strength I had.
Swhoosh!
The Dragon Slaying Slash descended from the sky. I didn't even bother to check if it was a hit or not. Against an expert like Luo River God of the Capital, it would be impressive if the Dragon Slaying Slash had a hit rate of 30%.
I moved like lightning and appeared on her right side in the blink of an eye. I raised my hand and tossed out an Icy Cyclone Domain, covering the ground in ice and snow.
"Oh?"
Luo River God of the Capital let out a soft hum and moved slightly. At the same time, she waved her scepter and threw a Sea of Purgatory Flame at me. It happened to overlap with my Icy Cyclone Domain, causing ice and fire to collide and numb all over my body. I had lost 4539 HP to the Sea of Purgatory Flame!
Mn, it was still acceptable.
I followed up with a Thousand Ice Slash. Luo River God of the Capital quickly dodged to the right while I locked onto my target and activated Thunderous Charge. Halfway through my charge, I swung my sword and unleashed three consecutive Burning Blade Slashes!
"Wah, Lu Chen is so cunning …"
Luo River God of the Capital wasn't able to dodge in time, so she took three hits in a row. However, her Origin Energy Shield was incredibly tough, so my three Burning Blade Slashes weren't enough to break through it. All they did was cause three big MISSes. Tsk tsk, Wind City's number one mage truly lived up to her name. Book buffs loved to read:
Luo River God of the Capital attacked me in between my attacks. She waved her scepter and unleashed a powerful Dragon's Roar. A single-target spell like this was extremely powerful!
"Hong!"
My entire body shook. I felt like my body was being torn apart by the dragon's roar. A huge damage number floated above my head — 12093!
What kind of Magic Attack is this? Luo River God of the Capital's Famous General Skill, Mage Soul, boosted her Magic Attack by over 100%. As expected of the nightmare of heavy armor classes!
"Pa cha cha …"
My feet moved in a spiral pattern as I circled around Luo River God of the Capital's attack range. Then, with a sudden burst of speed, I nearly rammed into Luo River God of the Capital's back. The Heaven-stealing Sword glowed with an indigo, flaming cone of energy, and the light of an Eight Trigrams Formation appeared beneath my feet. This was my true killer move — Universe Break!
Luo River God of the Capital turned pale with fright. She let out a soft cry and waved her staff. Her whole body suddenly jumped forward, and she actually blinked almost 20 yards away. I didn't wait for her to stabilize her footing before I raised my longsword and used another long-range Dragon Slaying Slash!
"Pa!"
“MISS！”
Luo River God of the Capital's Origin Energy Shield was torn to shreds. She wouldn't be able to summon another Origin Energy Shield for the next few seconds, and these precious seconds were the best opportunity for me. If I missed this opportunity, I would be tortured to death by her Sea of Purgatory Flames, Dragon's Roar, and Galaxy Storm!
While running, I used these short pauses to unleash Dragon Slaying Slash!
Swhoosh!
A cyan blade descended from the sky. Luo River God of the Capital didn't dare to block it head-on without her Origin Energy Shield, so she could only dodge and retreat. She took the opportunity to use Ice Arrow to reduce my attack power. I had to admit that this mage was a pain in the ass. If you gave her a stage, she would dare to show off her skills to any warrior. No wonder Candlelight Shadow didn't dare to fight Luo River God of the Capital head-on during the final battle at Wind City. He could only use Ghost God Prophecy to ambush and kill her.
Rustle rustle...
I closed the distance between me and Luo River God of the Capital in the blink of an eye. Her mouth fell open as she abruptly changed direction and speed, forming a beautiful zigzag to evade my attack. However, I opened my left fist and unleashed a Magic Piercing Punch in the next instant!
“MISS！”
Luo River God of the Capital was starting to show her savagery. She actually parried my Magic Piercing Punch and borrowed the force of my punch to retreat. Unfortunately for her, my killer move was a combo, and I didn't give her a second chance. I unleashed another Dragon Slaying Slash that didn't use up any of my Flurry cooldowns!
"Ah …"
Luo River God of the Capital's mechanical index had almost reached its limit. Her instantaneous APM was over 600 on the system interface. It was shocking to say the least. My instantaneous APM was around 500, and while it wasn't very high, it was more than enough for me.
I slid to the side and used inertia to barely dodge my Dragon Slaying Slash. Then, I raised the Heaven-stealing Sword and charged toward Luo River God of the Capital in a spiral!
Luo River God of the Capital's expression changed drastically. "It's over, that cunning Lu Chen …"
Crack!
The Spiraling Blade slashed through the beautiful Mage's body, but this attack wasn't something she could block. The blade cut through her body without any resistance, and a huge damage number appeared above her head — "13478!"
Finally, Luo River God of the Capital's body slowly fell to the ground. As a Super Mage, HP was still her weakness. Her highest HP was only a little over ten thousand. She couldn't withstand a long-range attack like Blade Boomerang at all, but it was a close-range attack.
If I win, I'll get a lot of points. Everyone else, just watch as normal:!
… …
Swhoosh!
I flew out of the arena and checked my ranking. Great! Beating Luo River God of the Capital once actually pushed me to ninth place on the arena rankings. I finally entered the Top 10 of the China server, and almost everyone in the Top 10 was my acquaintance. The first place was Beiming Xue. I had no idea how many battles she had fought, but she probably used Spiraling Arrow Blade, Evil Spirit Volley and other skills to kill her opponents. She finished the battle within a few seconds of entering the arena, and she had fought more battles than me. Considering her super high win rate, it was only natural that she would climb to first place.
In second place was Candlelight Shadow, and in third place was Lin Yixin. Purple Marquis, Li Chengfeng, and a few others were right behind them. Farewell Song was ranked sixth. The leader of the assassin class was no simple character. To be able to maintain such a high ranking despite the fierce competition, it was very impressive!
I was currently ninth place, and the system randomly matched me with players ranked 1st to 209th. Therefore, the chances of me running into a Top 10 player weren't very high. In the end, the next few battles were against players at the level of Inconstant, Iron Pardon, and Purple Wind Chime. I still maintained an undefeated record, but my ranking could only hover between 7th and 10th. If I wanted to climb any higher, I would have to waste more time.
The chances of me running into Candlelight Shadow weren't high. That bastard seemed to have gone to fight in a team battle. I'll think about it later. As long as I could get into the Top 10, I didn't care about being first in the arena. In a sense, this was hard work. I had to fight countless battles to maintain my ranking. It was too tiring. If I had the time, I might as well go grind in leveling grounds. That way, I could also get equipment. That was the true joy of the game.
… …
I looked at the time. It was almost 6 pm, so I sent He Yi a message: "Eve, is it time to finish dinner?"
Eve replied: "Yeah, I'm 17th in the champion group. I can't get any higher. I'm going to call Beiming and Mingyue. Let's go eat at a buffet tonight..."
"Alright..."
I was a bit speechless. The girls in the workshop were the type who could eat without getting fat. They were all gluttons, but their bodies were getting better and better. It was hard to live with them. The other book friends looked at them normally:
… …
Not long after, the three girls logged off. Beiming Xue had a happy expression on her face as she rushed forward and grabbed my arm. She said, "Big bro, did you see that? I've already reached first place in the arena ~"
I was a bit speechless. "Beiming is amazing. How many battles did you fight in total?"
"About... about 800 battles. My win rate is 99.9%. I only lost one battle..."
"Oh, who did you lose to?"
"Luo River God of the Capital. Her Origin Energy Shield is too strong. I couldn't break it, so she overtook me. After that, I fought countless battles and before I knew it, Luo River God of the Capital's ranking fell again..."
I couldn't help but laugh. "That's because I defeated Luo River God of the Capital an hour ago, hahaha!!"
He Yi revealed an astonished smile. "Wow, really?
Lu Chen, you defeated Luo River God of the Capital? "
"Yeah!"
The girls immediately smiled. "That's amazing. Even Luo River God of the Capital was defeated..."
I smiled and led the girls downstairs. We stood in the elevator and continued chatting. Me: "Eve, what's your win rate?"
He Yi: "Average. Only about 99.2%. I lost three matches."
Me: "Oh, who did you lose to?"
He Yi: "I lost to Li Chengfeng, I lost to Candlelight Shadow, and I lost to Beauty Lin..."
I was shocked. "Damn, you've met a lot of experts. How beautiful would it be if I met them …"
Murong Mingyue was speechless. "How can Eve compare to a mechanical OP like you?
Oh right, Eve, did you kill any super experts in your battle record? "
He Yi thought for a moment before replying with a smile, "Yeah, I killed a few of them. I one-shot Transient Smoke and Clouds once, and Laughing At The Heavens also ran into me once, and I won. Oh right, I ran into Dominating Knight God three times in a row, and I killed him every time …"
I broke out in a cold sweat. "Fuck, no wonder Dominating Knight God's ranking kept falling. So that's how it is. Who did this unlucky kid offend..."
Beiming Xue asked with a smile, "Sister Mingyue, what's your record in the champion group?"
Murong Mingyue quietly turned around. "Must we talk about the champion group? I'll be leaving first. Take your time..."
The girls chuckled, and the rest of the readers looked at it normally:).
At this time, He Yi's phone suddenly rang. The area code was 010, and it was a Beijing number.
He Yi accepted the call and asked, "Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, is this Miss He Yi, the guild leader of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, From Water?" It was a female voice.
"Yes, I am. Who is this?"
"Oh, hello, I'm from the Beijing headquarters of Lenovo Corporation. Are you free tomorrow morning?
I'll be flying south, and I would like to meet you to discuss the team under Lenovo. "
At that moment, all of us were at a loss.
Lenovo had come to us. It looked like the Frost Cloud workshop had become famous in China!
